I liked Union. Whoever booked them, knew their shit when it comes to match-pacing and stuff like that.

Oh, and DDT is easily the best. @Prince Bálor

I look forward to watching it, m8.

Prince Bálor's first Dragon Gate journey has begun.
Destination: Kobe Pro-Wrestling Festival (Kobe, Hyogo, Japan)
Date: 7/20/15

​

- Mike Sydal, Super Shisa & Syachihoko BOY vs El Lindaman, Kotoka & U-T was a decent show opener. **
The match would've been a helluva lot better if it had more time, though. It was rushed this way, running about 6+ mins, but still had its fun moments.

- Jimmyz (Jimmy Kanda, Mr. Kyu Kyu Naoki Tanizaki Toyonaka Dolphin), Stalker Ichikawa & Yosuke Santa Maria vs MAD BLANKEY (Cyber Kong, K-ness, Mondai Ryu & Punch Tominaga) was OK for what it was. *½
It was mostly random carnage, and while it wasn't unwatchable, it also wasn't memorable.

- Open The Brave Gate Title Match: Akira Tozawa vs Eita was really good. ***½
I liked this match, the action was crisp and both guys are quality. I'm diggin' Tozawa a lot!

- Dangan Hawk (Masato Tanaka & Shingo Takagi) vs Dia.HEARTS (Big R Shimizu & BxB Hulk) was a good match overall. ***¼
MOTM award goes to BxB Hulk, as he was bumping his ass off.

- Open The Triangle Gate Title Match: CIMA, Don Fuji & Gamma vs Dia.HEARTS (Dragon Kid, Kzy & Masaaki Mochizuki) vs Jimmyz (Genki Horiguchi HAGeeMee, Jimmy Susumu & Ryo Jimmy Saito) was a solid, fun match to watch, even though it went on for too long and there was some time killing and meaningless action. **½

- Open The Twin Gate Title Match: MAD BLANKEY (Naruki Doi & YAMATO) vs Matt Sydal & Ricochet was really good and fun to watch. ***½

- Open The Dream Gate Title Match: Masato Yoshino vs T-Hawk was a stellar, greatly enjoyed ME! ***¾

This was a superb show. I already love Dragon Gate.

Did you watch this legally or illegally?

Did you watch this legally or illegally?

Illegally. Why?

 

[Roadster]

Illegally. Why?

Just asking, can't seem to find an illegal way to watch new Dragon Gate. I tried torrenting but, no one uploads all of the shows, just some.

Okay folks, tomorrow is Peter Pan, DDT's biggest show of the year, from Sumo Hall. One thing is sure, it's gonna blow WWE's two shows outta water, minus Bayley/Sasha of course.

Even though it's a culmination of various feuds, it's also a perfect starting point for everyone to hop onto the bandwagon. Here's the detailed preview, it's an easy read: https://dramaticddt.wordpress.com/2015/08/20/ddt-ryogoku-peter-pan-2015-preview/

DDT out performs almost every WWE event of the calendar year, except for the Christmas episode.:titus:

Peter Pan happened, ladies and gentlemen. This show is gonna be fucking A.

All Japan will be hosting the third ever Royal Road tournament in September, winner usually gets a shot at the triple crown. And looking at the participants, it looks like a fun openweight tournament.

Go Shiozaki (last years winner)
Akebono (winner of the first one)
Suwama
Miyahara Kento
Jun Akiyama
Takao Omori
Kotaro Suzuki
Yoshinobu Kanemaru
Atsushi Aoki
Zeus
Kenso
Yutaka Yoshie
Hikaru Sato
Bodyguard
Shuji Ishikawa (debut in the tournament)
Yuji Hino (debut)

Ishikawa coming back is super fun news. Now that Union is dying I hope he makes AJPW and BJW his homes. And Hino showing up is fantastic, hoping he gets over and finds a place within Babaland.

Already way better and more intriguing than Carnival.

I got Best of Dragon Gate Vol 1, it's pretty dated. Back to when Dragon Gate had English commentary from WWN. I think it came out in 2009-2010, but I look forward to some great matches. With English commentary.

Here's the first round matchups for AJPW's Royal Road tournament.

Some nice match ups in here.

Coconut Saburo has no time for your puny mortal gimmicks.

Strong Round 1, really looking forward to it. Poor Hikaru, tho!
